The U.S. Senate has reached an agreement to potentially end the 41-day government shutdown this week, enabling the SEC and CFTC to resume full operations. The SEC is expected to prioritize "exemptive relief" for tokenization and crypto businesses, while continuing its investigation into digital asset vault companies. Meanwhile, crypto ETFs launched during the shutdown, including those for SOL, Litecoin, and HBAR, may face automatic effect, supplementary inquiries, or temporary suspension as the SEC resumes its activities. CFTC Acting Chair Caroline Pham announced plans to advance "spot crypto trading and tokenized staking" this year, with discussions underway for launching leveraged spot trading as early as next month. Legislative efforts are also in progress, with the Senate Banking and Agriculture Committees working on bills to define SEC/CFTC powers and "auxiliary assets," which will need to be unified for presidential approval.
